| Abstract: | The study investigates experimentally the profit impact of a cost report's presentation format in relation to a decision maker's level of cost accounting knowledge. A customer profitability report prepared using activity-based costing and presented in a tabular or in a graphical format is used, and a complex pricing and resource allocation task affecting firm profitability is analyzed by participants. The results reveal, among others, that there is a strong relation between presentation format and cost accounting knowledge. |
